Of course, Q patriots don’t believe the news out of Buffalo.

And the grifters will, of course, give them reason to keep denying what happened there.
Of all the lies from Tucker Carlson, this January claim that criminal white supremacy and right-wing domestic terrorism “doesn’t exist” was always one of the most brazen. https://t.co/8NQCN2CEjH

Mass killers who *directly referenced replacement theory:
– New Zealand shooter (killed 51)
– El Paso shooter (killed 23)
– Tree of Life shooter (killed 11)
– Buffalo shooter (killed 10)To ignore this clear correlation is an exercise in intellectual dishonesty. https://t.co/qxPPR8epXb
